Leo Messi is unquestionably the best player of the history of the FC Barcelona and has been the leader of the golden age of the club. In an ideal world, the Argentinian had withdrawn in the Barcelona picture and would have been one of these few 'one club man' that remain nowadays in the world of the football. However, the raw economic reality of the entity caused his exit in the summer of 2021, after Joan Laporta decided to not to renew him not to engage more to the Barça.

The course of the attacker of Rosario was an authentic drama for the barcelonismo and for the own Lionel, that in spite of having wanted to go out in 2020, in this occasion his only wish was the one to remain in the Camp Nou. Unfortunately for him and for all his fans, this could not be and the '10' finish carrying the '30' in Paris Saint-Germain, the team that more bid by him and that more could him give in this moment in the monetary and in the sportive.

But the love of Messi by the Barça and the one of the Barcelona by Leo is such that two years afterwards, to some months that the forward finish his agreement with the PSG, the possibility of his return is a reality. The 'Fair Play' of the culés does that it still do not know how much goes to be able to offer him, but the will of both seems the one to arrive to an understanding. Nevertheless, the outlay that will have to do the entity by him, although it accept a discount salarial big, will be important. For this reason, it is necessary to calibrate painstakingly all the pros and the contras of the operation, something that have tried to do in 'FCBN'.

Points for of the signing of Messi

  1. The turn of a legend: The exit of the rosarino was unexpected and cold. It took for granted that it went to renew until in the last moment, in a total twist of the events, the club announced that it could not follow and that left . His act of farewell was more than moving, but could not sack of the fans in the Camp Nou. Go back to play one or two years more would be the colophon for his career and a beautiful form that the Barça resarza after leaving him leave by the rear door.
  2. A star to lead to the youngsters: Pedri, Gavi, Balde, Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres... The Barça has a lot of young talents preparadísimos for the highest level. However, still they can need to a leader inside the field. Robert Lewandowski, Sergio Busquets or even Robert Araújo in spite of his youth exert like such. But have to the best footballer of the history at the side can be a decisive factor so that all the 'jewels' can grow without need to have all the focuses on.
  3. A partner for forwards and means: In the futbolístico, Leo would give a lot of possibilities to the Barça still being far of his best level. No longer it has in his game these drivings that did him imparable, but yes saves all his talent in the pass, the shot and the started shorter. Ousmane Dembélé And Robert Lewandowski would enjoy of a lot of more opportunities of goal with him to his side, whereas Pedri, Gavi or Frenkie of Jong would enjoy of the best pasador possible in all his combinations. Besides, could explode even more to a Balde that by left, the same that Jordi Alba in his moment, could turn into the best partner of the '10'.
  4. Approach more to the Champions: The FC Barcelona has showed this season that is a bit more near of the more 'big' of Europe, but that still has a lot of way for visiting. The turn of Messi would shorten enough this way and would plant to the Barcelona several stairs above where are now. Besides, the Argentinian sacked in 2021 with the bitter flavour of mouth of have not been able to go back to win the 'Orejona' and would be more motivated that never for fulfilling his remembered promise.

Points against of the return of Messi

  1. His age: The time happens for all and the attacker has already 35 years and fulfils the 36 in June. Therefore, it would finish the next campaign with almost 37 years, an age in which the majority of players already are withdrawn. Leo shows in Paris that still keeps on being decisive and that keeps very in shape, but the bajón can arrive him anytime, as it has showed with Cristiano Ronaldo. Besides, it would be necessary to see if it asks only a year of agreement ensured or wants to two. In this second case, taking into account that it would finish it with almost 38, yes could become a problem.
  2. Wage: As it is the economic situation of the Barcelona, that follows having serious problems with the limit salarial of LaLiga, is impossible to pose the signing of the rosarino if it does not go down a lot the wage. However, still recessing the index card, his wage would keep on being elevated with almost total security. It is by this by what, still being the legend that is and still being one of the best still nowadays, is not of the all clear if the effort will be worth it by only one or two years more than football.
  3. Change of roles in the changing room: Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto are the captains of the Barça, but neither much less are the only leaders of the changing room. Ronald Araújo and Marc-André ter Stegen have won a lot of weight regarding leadership after the empty that supposed the course of Messi, and Ousmane Dembélé, Frenkie of Jong or especially Pedri have won it in the futbolístico. Besides, Robert Lewandowski also has arrived to lead and has joined up very well. The turn of the captain of the albiceleste could suppose a change of paradigm and roles in a vestidor in which it is very important that the youngsters have increasingly importance and the veterans every time have less.
  4. Possible condicionamiento of system: With balloon, 'Lio' keep on being one of the best and continues deciding meetings. However, without him every time presiona less and every time has less defensive sacrifice. This, for a player that never has characterised by his exert defensive is a lot say. Right now, Xavi is alternating a species of 4-4-2 with four midfield players, one more thrown to the left as 'faso extreme', a right extreme and a forward, with the classical 4-3-3. With Messi, a 4-3-3 in front of rivals of some entity would be very difficult of sobrellevar, since it would not go down to help to the side. The 4-4-2 himself would be ideal for him, but also would require an extra effort of the means to compensate what do not run the Argentinian. This, like the own signing, would have pros and contras, have to one of the best up and lose solidity and balance or 'descartar' his turn and look for another signing? The answer have it the technician of Terrassa, Mateu Alemany and Joan Laporta.
